Oppdal: enjoyment and adventure in the mountains of Trøndelag

Destination #1

Fishing in paradise

In the south of Trøndelag lies Oppdal, a region with impressive mountain panoramas and unspoiled nature. Perfect for a road trip, Oppdal offers numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures such as canoeing, cycling and fishing. Olaf made a stop here, accompanied by Erlend, an experienced fisherman from the region. He tried his luck at the idyllic Raurøra beach - the big catch didn't materialize, but the peaceful atmosphere of the lake was an experience in itself.

A cool unfiltered

Another highlight was a visit to the Rodebak Brewery, where master brewer Carl creates traditional farmhouse beers with a special twist. Whether a beer with heather, local yeast or a smoky specialty beer - each glass tells a unique story. Olaf was inspired by the variety, and in addition to a cool drink, he took away new ideas for the barbecue evening.

Angus from the region

The day ended with a visit to Håkersløkken Gård, where Angus cattle graze on lush mountain pastures with spectacular views. Arvid, the owner, focuses on species-appropriate husbandry and the highest quality from the region. The tranquil atmosphere and panoramic views of the farm provided Olaf with the perfect place to set up the barbecue and prepare his menu.

Hay-smoked trout

The menu was as simple as it was sophisticated: hot smoked trout from ICON, a fresh kohlrabi salad with sour cream and grilled almond potatoes. Of course, Olaf brought the recipe along for us.
